If you're still pissed about last week's changes to the main user page of Facebook, I've got news for you. Those changes may only be the beginning.Found an article by Tony Bradley in this week's PC World, in which he says the company has unveiled a development roadmap.
PC World:
Facebook gathered developers together to share changes and improvements it plans to roll out over the next two quarters. The event, dubbed Facebook Developer Garage Palo Alto - Roadmap Edition, was also streamed over the Web simultaneously via Ustream.
Facebook co-founder, CEO and president Mark Zuckerberg kicked things off by providing some background regarding where Facebook is now and the vision for the future. Zuckerberg began by saying "Facebook Platform is quickly becoming, along with Connect, is quickly becoming one of the most important parts of our strategy."
Plus this:
Holding an event such as this and presenting the roadmap is a great way to make the transition easier. Last Friday Facebook introduced changes to the main user homepage with little warning for users which led to frustration and complaints from many users.
Facebook could foster some goodwill with the 300 million plus users if it proactively shared upcoming changes the way it shared this roadmap with developers. It would also be nice if Facebook would borrow a page from Google's playbook and prepare little video tutorials to explain the changes and educate users about how to take advantage of them to maximize their Facebook experience.
Facebook has a link to Ustream where you can view the recorded presentation in its entirety.===============================
